<p>They say they have a Chinese translation of the reference. Given this is the first translation offered for the Reference, we don't exactly have a process for accepting it. I don't even know who to contact to create a process. I'm guessing the Infra team would have to be involved.</p>

<p>So far we have encouraged people to maintain parallel unofficial copies of the book and docs and we might link to them with caveats</p>

<p>Let's start by getting feedback from people (who aren't involved with it) about it, and if the feedback is good, we could link to it. If the feedback remains good and we see it stay up to date (including infrastructure to <em>know</em> if any given part of it is up to date), we could consider doing something more official.</p>

<p>Also, if there's infrastructure that we could integrate to make translation easier, such as something to track what version of text a given translation is based on (on a page-by-page basis), similar to gettext or fluent, we could consider that as well to make it easier to keep it up to date.</p>

<p>i recently created a poc utility for translating mdbook books - <a href="https://github.com/crlf0710/mdTranslation">https://github.com/crlf0710/mdTranslation</a>  it is a tool for managing translation on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis. The implementation is quite immature and there might be many hidden bugs. but it might be of some help.</p>
